After having spent a great deal of time looking at the events of 9/11, I have found no compelling reason to believe that any of the doomed aircraft were hijacked by Islamic terrorists. Can anybody provide real and compelling evidence that there were such hijackers?

Heh...apparently a real truth seeker. One in a million. Not basing this viewpoint on this post...but it didn't hurt. I don't buy hardly anything about the 'official' and the greatest 9/11 conspiracy story.

It helps to have evidence when challenging the conventional and the most outrageous conspiracy theory.

I can't think of a way to dig up evidence that they were not Islamic hijackers. We can readily argue that it is improbable to jump from Cessna's to doing the supposed maneuvers in a 757. We can also argue that 757's are incapable of doing some of the supposed maneuvers.

It is scientifically impossible for the fuselage of a 757 to blast a 16 foot wide hole through three rings of the Pentagon while the 20,000 pound titanium alloy engines fail to inflict any damage whatsoever before disappearing into thin air.

But the identity of the hijackers? Thats a tough one.

The perpetrators clearly wanted Islam to be blamed for transparent reasons. They pulled off a magnificent crime but were overly ambitious. The only thing keeping it under wraps is that the perpetrators currently control the system that investigates and reports on these matters.

Plus they have most people frightened. I have made some casual efforts to put together an organization to deal with a possible collapse of our current system. So far I get wide eyes while an ex-con promised me that I was going straight to jail.

Our founding fathers had a collossal task I can assure you. I'm sure that people had more 'guts' back then however.

At least we can look at Kucinich for having the cajones to try and save us.

Skepticism of the official story is warranted. However, some people take it to the extreme (attacking those who don't) and claim definitively that there were NO hijackers, and that the planes were not hijacked by the named individuals at all.

This can't be proven.

What we have is a lack of evidence MADE PUBLIC. This does nto mean such evidence does not exist. It means they won't tell us. Two different scenarios.

One of immediate responses to realizing 9/11 was a far different crime than the OCT would have it, was to suspend my belief that any Islamic terrorists were involved. The "evidence" from the Moussaoui show trial is laughable.

I don't have a serious doubt that the Pentagon was hit by a 757. I am 100% certain Hani Hanjour was not in control of the plane at the time. If you don't have very solid and compelling evidence leading to the conclusion that there were such Islamic terrorists, it is extremely immoral to perpetuate the myth.

The waters are so muddy now that one can find several links to support almost anything. The Pentagon wall did not collapse for 1/2 hour. During that time period there was a 16 foot hole punching through three rings whcih amounts to 9 feet of heavily reinforced concrete. The photos were on the Pentagon web site for awhile.

In addition, there was no evidence that was unique to a 757 which weighs 100 tons. The main titanium alloy engines weigh 20,000 pound each. The peice of brightly painted aluminum which was so prominently displayed had not one scorch or burn mark on it. Its separation for the main wreckage made it appear as though it were carried in by hand. The remaining engine from the wreckage was not that of a 757.

You mention redicule from the press? Who cares? We all know who controls the press. Do you expect the perpetrators to fail to throw every switch available while protecting their hoax?

I probably have ten 9/11 DVDs and books scattered about. Of course I can't prove it. The question noyone answers is why was the Pentagon video confiscated from the Sheraton, the convenience store, the Pentagon, and possibly the highway that the 757 flew over?

I'm sure they will release video as soon as they have the technology to make a credible fake. It has been six years now. Six years. In that time, they released exactly one frame which still fails to show a 757.

I think a 757 flew over the Pentagon. I'm not disputing the presence of a 757. But there was no 757 at the crash site.

If they have evidence and with hold it...I would ask what purpose that would serve. Do you expect thinking people to believe something that looks to have taken over 6 years to produce?

And there were reports of hearing multiple explosions several minutes after the impact.

That is not correct. Only the outer facade was heavily reinforced. Furthermore, the first floor was contiguous from the point of entry to the point of exit. It was also fairly empty due to the renovation work.

I believe it was from a 757. A few of us on the LC forum analyzed this carefully and found parts in the maintenance graphics to match the recovered parts.

Indeed.

The virtually immediate response is suspicious. There are legitimate national security arguments for wanting to conceal images of a successful strike on a target of vital military significance. In so doing, there are, of course, interests of the perpetrators served as well.

What I meant by heavily reinforced is that the concrete had a couple things going for it:
It had a lot of quality rebar in it.
It was quality concrete. The strenght of concrete varies tremendously. Next time you have cement poured, buy it from the cement company and get their good stuff. You probably don't need the sidewalk quality stuff but you get my drift.

I know nothing of Gen Stubblebine and I'm a bit tired right now.

The immediate confiscation of all of the video is more than "a little suspicious." I suspect they were Mossad or some shadowy operatives posing as FBI myself. Once you have barged in and flipped an FBI badge, not many are going to ask questions.

What do you know about General Stubblebine?

Actually I had seen the vidoe of Gen Stubblebines testimony that a 757 could not have created the hole in the Pentagon. Since it was his job to conduct measurement and analysis like this....he does have credibility.

There are literlly dozens of experts calling bullshit of course.

One probem is that disinformation agents have infiltrated the 9/11 truth movements and are doing what they are trained to do.

Congrats Purple making the century mark. We need more new members making that figure. Thanks for persevering.

I've been to a few meetings with 911 groups as well as union organizations and they all suspect infiltration, especially with new people. Our world is full of deceptions and mistrust as well. I think you and hetwire are both questioning those things we questioned for a while too about 911. Now that the initial rush of emotion over 911 has passed, things return to normal and we find that the distractions created by government causes one to refocus their energies towards what they think they can work on. 911 has become such a distant reality- people respond as they are conditioned to and so return to their petty political partisanships in hopes that someone will drag us out of this dilemma we find in the world.

Meanwhile, no one can prove anything that happened except that most of the supposed hijackers were Saudi's. Other than that, the silence of evidence is deafening for us who know how important this issue is.

Keep trying and keep the heat on. Never forget what happened to our countries as a result of the lies that grew from that day of infamy.
